Ankiel Strikes Again…

Holy Carp!!!! Ankiel does it again with 2 homers in a 3 for 4 performance on Saturday afternoon. And, as if that wasn’t enough, he topped it off with an amazing play ala Jim Edmonds in right field. Still attempting to get a feel for the dimensions of new Busch Stadium, Rick made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch that ended with a tumble on the warning track and an abrupt stop against the wall. Wow…this kid can play…

It makes me wonder, if Rick had not contracted a case of the wild willies a few years back, would we have converted him to an outfielder anyway after realizing just how good a hitter he is??? Hell…it happened with Babe Ruth…you can’t waste a bat like that by giving him 3 or 4 at bats every fifth day.
